Wang Mang did not give the commander of Yumen Pass a chance to delay time, when he first arrived at the pass, he did not care about the loss of troops, and directly used the lives of soldiers as a sharp weapon to break through the pass, and the battle was very fierce.

On the one hand, the Xiongnu commander of Yumen Pass concentrated all the remaining forces on the east gate defense, made a pre-war speech, boosted morale, and organized soldiers to fight. While sending a letter for help, waiting for the opportunity, the command is very high-level, and he can be called a famous general.

At the beginning, when the Xiongnu guards saw the Han army suddenly killed, they were a little panicked, frightened, very afraid, demoralized, and full of negative emotions.

However, after a high-minded speech by the Xiongnu commander, the morale quickly returned to the peak level, and the combat power was greatly improved.

However, he underestimated Wang Mang and did not expect Wang Mang's other arrangement. He didn't expect that the 50,000 army attacking the east gate was not all Wang Mang's strength, but a bait.

Therefore, just when he concentrated his forces to defend the east gate of Yumen Pass, the 50,000 Tianhan battalion army led by Wang Xianzhi came to the west gate like a heavenly soldier and appeared out of thin air, which greatly shocked the hearts of all the Hun defenders.

For a time, the Xiongnu commander was caught off guard, lost a move, and had no time to divide his troops to defend the West Gate, which led to the loss of the West Gate and was occupied by Wang Xianzhi's army.

After the west gate was breached, Wang Xianzhi immediately led the army to the east gate, and the inside and outside should be combined, killing the Hun defenders guarding the east gate, and helping Wang Mang enter the city.

Because the Xiongnu defenders lost their natural defense, they naturally couldn't stop Wang Xianzhi's subordinates from rushing and killing when they had few troops.

One wrong move, wrong move, and all the games are lost.

How can 10,000 soldiers in Yumen Pass be able to stop the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves?

In this way, from the time Wang Mang led the army to appear at Yumen Pass to break through Yumen Pass, it didn't take three hours for him to successfully complete the scheduled plan and recapture this important pass.

Yumen Pass was completely lost, and the remaining surviving Hun defenders had no courage to resist. They either fled to the rear or surrendered on their knees, and there was a mess.

Wang Mang's army was strictly disciplined, and he assigned a part of his troops to clean up the mess, count the spoils, clean up the battlefield, and preside over the overall situation of Yumen Pass. After that, he seized the time and led the rest of the men and horses to rush out of Yumen Pass and kill towards Jiayu Pass.

The wolf smoke rises, look northwest, shoot the wolf, and seize the jade gate!

After the five commanders of the Tianhan Battalion, under the leadership of Wang Xianzhi, quickly captured the Yumen Pass, they were convinced by Wang Mang.

With less than 10,000 horses killed, they recaptured Yumen Pass from the Xiongnu, an unimaginable achievement that made them respect Wang Mang like a god.

"Lord Wang, you are like a god and strategize, this time the last general can follow you to the battlefield and crusade against the barbarians, it is really a blessing for the last general." The Grand Commander said.

Wang Mang said: "The recapture of Yumen Pass is not all my credit, if it were not for those soldiers of Dingxi Pass to defend for several months to buy me time, how could my plan be carried out so smoothly?" Great commander, at present, the main force of the Xiongnu army is still strong, and the foundation has not been damaged much, you must not take it lightly, don't be careless because you have recaptured Yumen Pass. ”

"Yes, my lordship, I will respect my teachings."

"That's very good, let's hurry up and get a few more passes."

Wang Mang said: "This time we have taken the Yumen Pass, and this matter will definitely make Da Shan Yu vigilant." In this way, he will definitely send troops and horses to gallop to the rest of the passes and strengthen the defense of those passes. We must take a few more passes before his reinforcements arrive. If the delay is too long, I am afraid that something will happen, which will be detrimental to our army. ”

"Driving...."

Wang Mang shouted and galloped his horse.

Many leaders of the Tianhan camp sighed in unison: "Lord Wang is really a god and a man, my Han has this person to guard, why are you afraid of barbarians from all directions?" ”

Shi Xiuying saw that Yumen Pass was really recaptured, she completely dispelled all kinds of distracting thoughts, and expected that this time the Xiongnu coalition army had no chance to turn around, and no longer expected a miracle, and was completely ready to marry Wang Mang in name.

Wang Mang led the army to hurry to Jiayuguan.

About three hours passed, and suddenly, a series of beacon flames rushed into the sky, piercing the sky and illuminating the entire sky.

These beacon flames began to rise from the mighty pass, stretched for thousands of miles, and ended up in Jiayuguan, like a heavenly dragon soaring.

Wang Mang was shocked when he saw these beacons that lit up half of the sky, "It's not good, the Xiongnu coalition is going to make a desperate bet." ”

He figured out the crux of the problem almost instantly, and saw through Da Shan Yu's arrangement.

Wang Xianzhi didn't know what he meant, and he didn't know what these beacon fires represented, so he asked, "Mang'er, why are you so alarmed?" What is the significance of the Xiongnu lighting these beacon fires? ”

Wang Mang said: "Da Dan Yu is really an extraordinary person, and he knows the way of trade-offs, and it seems that the soldiers on the side of Dingxi Pass are going to suffer a major blow."

Uncle, if what I expected, these beacons should be a signal of a large order to gather troops. He already knew that the Jade Gate Pass was lost, and figured out my arrangement.

He didn't want to be flanked by our troops, and he didn't want to divide his troops to confront us. So he ordered all the soldiers and horses at the rest of the passes to withdraw and gather at Wuwei Pass. In other words, the next pass we want to recapture is no longer guarded by the Huns, but an empty city. ”

"Empty city?" Wang Xianzhi was puzzled and said: "Da Dan Yu gathers all the relevant troops and gathers at Wuwei Pass, isn't it better for us?" We have to spend more money to win other passes.

Since there is no longer a Xiongnu army to defend those passes, can't we drive straight into them and recapture them all? ”

"It's that simple."

Wang Mang frowned tightly, feeling worried.

"If the Xiongnu's army of more than 400,000 is divided into two parts to fight us, it will be extremely beneficial to us. At the beginning, I also thought that Da Shan Yu would arrange it this way and would allocate a certain amount of troops to fight me.

I didn't expect him to be so decisive, directly giving up so many passes, and not caring about the rear at all. Uncle, think about it, what is the purpose of Da Dan concentrating these forces? I think it's nothing more than a desperate attempt to attack those soldiers of our Dingxi Pass with all his might. In this way, the soldiers of Dingxi Pass will inevitably suffer heavy losses. ”

Wang Xianzhi said: "The two armies are fighting, and casualties are inevitable. This time, the Xiongnu united countries gathered hundreds of thousands of troops to the south, and we led the army to resist, how could it not be harmed?

You don't have to worry. In my opinion, it is better for them to gather all their forces. Because their back road has been cut off by us. As long as the soldiers in front are strictly guarded and do not give them a chance to break through, then the Xiongnu will definitely be defeated. ”

"General Wang is right!" The commander of the Tianhan camp said: "Lord Wang, this move of the Xiongnu is purely seeking its own death. As long as our side fights steadily and defends to the death on the side of Dingxi Pass, after a long time, the Xiongnu coalition army will definitely be in chaos. In my opinion, Da Dan's move is completely cocooned.

Lord Wang, think about it, so many Xiongnu troops gathered together, and the back road was cut off by us, what will they eat in the future? For the army, grain and grass are the most important, I don't believe that on the side of Wuwei Pass, Da Dan Yu has also prepared grain and grass for several years, and intends to defend it permanently at that pass.

Therefore, at present, the most important thing for us is whether those soldiers in Dingxiguan can withstand their impact. If we can, we can sit back and relax. If we can't stop it, then we are in some trouble. ”

"It's definitely going to be able to stop it."

Mr. Murong said: "There are 570,000 troops on the side of Dingxi Pass, and there is a steady stream of reinforcements coming to help. There are so many troops over there, plus all kinds of excellent armaments, as long as they don't resist internal strife, it will definitely not be a problem to hold the city pass and block the Hun army for a while. Then just wait for a long time, and the Xiongnu army will be in chaos and crushed. ”
